Sorry, I should have mentioned about this too in the cover letter.
So current patchset is mainly only converting bmap & fiemap to use iomap 
APIs. Even the original implementation does not have external ACL block
implemented for xattr_fiemap.

Let me spend some time to implement it. But I would still like to keep
that as a separate patch.

But thanks for looking into it. There's this point 2.a & 2.b mentioned 
in the cover letter where I could really use your help in understanding
if all of that is a known behavior from iomap_fiemap side
(whenever you have some time of course :) )
